The Voice - Match preview #43: Bradford City vs Notts County Thursday 17th April 8:00pm

If Notts are just are in a firm play off place at last game that’s them resting their 1st 11 for the play offs.

 

So in a strange set of circumstances, is it actually a blessing we have to play Doncaster? At least then we have more control of our destiny

 

What is funny is they looked like a div 1 team and we looked like a team if we did go up would come straight back down. We lacked ball control and didn’t really do much with the ball.

 

Spot on. For those that have robust health and can’t understand why normally fit young men are struggling. I have no idea how many of them have been ill. Viruses are killers it takes every ounce of energy you have and can take up to 3/4 weeks to shake off the effects. Some will do it in a week or longer depends on your immune system. Bobby looked like he has had it. I will say this, it is not a good idea to try and train or play the high tempo. But I suppose we don’t have a choice, but don’t expect them to sizzle all over the pitch as normal.

It was my first game under the lights this season and I loved it. Managed to keep warm. I thought it was an even game with both teams trying their best. The auto are not over yet. Let’s just see how we stand after tomorrow.

 

It's fine lines but I'm of the thinking it was a strange sub.

There were other options with replacing sarcevic which wouldn't have meant taking khela off mcgoldrick. It's changing three positions to swap one, and then he realised what he had done and had to make another sub to compensate and move khela back.

On the face of it, we didn't create that much second half though, even though we scored we didn't look like scoring if you know what I mean

Although having said that other than the goal I don't recall them having another shot on target.

 

I know I don't cheer you up.

Don't you worry about me. Pet!

 

Gotta laugh at their manager shushing the biggest crowd he has ever seen like anyone knows who he actually is.

 

To a man they looked to have better ball control than us...but then that seems to be the case with nearly every team we've played over the last few years. We often seem to make the basics look difficult. That said I just want to get to L1 this time, then I'll worry about staying there!

 

I did say we had to stifle mcgoldrick from coming deep and running the show and that's what cost us the win tonight. We let him dictate and go where ever he wanted. Great goal granted but he had all the time in the world to pick his spot.

 

Don't really agree with the penalty call, only watched it once but I wasn't convinced it was even a corner

 

Oh you are from the NE then? Boro or Sunderland?

 

Didn't think it was a pen sat in the lower kop, thought the ref had a decent game.

 

Never a pen nor was it a corner should have been a goalkick to Notts

The disallowed goal however I do agree I thought it was very soft and it did look like their GK was actually caught by his own teammate

 

What marks did award the other thirteen players for Bradford City?

 

Such flappers our lot.

 

I know we would love Walsall Donny and Wimbledon mainly (not too fussed about vale) to drop PTS but let's remember that it's still in our hands regardless of results tomorrow.

 

Exactly.
All teams are under pressure.
So many matches where teams play eachother and Walsall are so off form.
We can beat Chesterfield and they've got Dobra out injured.

 

True but he is absolute class is McGoldrick. He scored an almost identical goal a few weeks ago.

 

79 points should be enough for promotion so that’s one more win and two draws !

 

Looked like a handball was more the issue. If Alexander is putting the failure to win on the ref then that is desperate.
